How can I, as an individual librarian, help make Wikipedia better?

  1. Do librarian type things:
    1. here is a project for librarians at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Libraries which anyone interested can join; this is a good way to meet other editors with similar interests and get ideas of projects to work on
    2. Answer questions about source quality on Wikipedia's Refernce desk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk
    3. And also on reliable sources noticeboard  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard
    4. Categorize articles. 
    5. Teach Information Literact using Wikipedia as an example: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10691310802554895
